      3 G Pico

      Just set up this jbj 3 gallon pico reef for a doctor friend

      Corals:
      2x Leather shrooms 3x devil leather 1 kenya 1 rock w/gsp & Frag pulse xenia

      after looking at pics i do notice that aptasia in back (frag is from another member, wont name names ,lol) I will scrape that off or remove rock with next service.

      Pics above are five minutes after install

      will update as this pico matures & becomes established

      side note: sand is from my current system to jump start
      & I plan on adding 1 gallon of my reef's water and 1 gallon red sea mix every 2 weeks

      any input, comments, suggestions are welcome

      looks fantastic! i am currently upgrading
      from my first picoreef (3g) to an 8g cadlights.
      and i like the shape of your tank as well as your
      rock arrangement. mine was an emergency saltwater
      tank from a freshwater tetra, so it wasn't ideal.

      have fun!

      @cyn Thanks

      I service this tank every 2 weeks
      Nano's are hard too keep in general

      But were finding a great parameters all around

      A nano skimmer was bought and planned for this setup
      Scrapped due to concerns on both ends of owners and I

      More Corals added

      enjoy

      I know that Doctor G does ;]

      Got a call that he had not seen , the bi blenny in weeks ..........
      Figured it died / jump out / ect.... serviced left...

      Two more weeks go by ... I service this morning .......... & whah lah ! find him in the back bottom of the overflow side.

      The odds of making it to the overflow with jumping out of this tiny system blew me away.


      Any-hoot completely pulled apart and cleaned , pulled rocks and some corals
      to give it a more roomier feel...added black sand

      Put a lid on it for "Air Jordan" ....picture shy right now but one could understand
      He has been in purgatory aka the hole for a month.
